Some materials are salvaged from a house before the remainder is demolished. The house was built in 1936, with numerous additions and alterations over the decades. It will be replaced with a new larger house.
Its nice to see a company recycling.
I have missed these videos, glad to see you back John. Good demo from start to finish.
After watching dozens of these videos it's obvious to me that this type of work is where they train equipment operators that have never been in a piece of equipment before.
Backhoe operator is really good... plucking wood window frames of with a backhoe to keep wood and bricks separate .
I've always wanted to know how much copper wiring was put into those old houses and why hardly any of it is recovered when the house is demolished. It would seem simple enough for someone to walk through the house with a hammer and a pair of wire cutters and completely remove all the wire in a couple of hours.
Finally something that looks like reclamation of materials instead of the destruction in other videos.
Okay. Give me a nail puller, long crowbar/demolition bar, a sledgehammer, a maddock, and sawsall.
Old piece of leaf spring with a notch ground in it for the roofing nails .
A lot of work went into that demo..
These guys are åpparently in some sort of work training program. Hard for a normal business, paying resonable wages, to get a profit from reclaiming timber like that.
probably hire alot of "temp" workers from local day labor /temp agency i think with those they pay a flat price and the agency pays the workers
Is there a specific type of material that makes the water necessary? Noticed its in like 50% of the vids only
It's a function of local regulations and company policies.
I wonder whether the people paying for this "demolition work" know that rookies are being trained here? You don't try to pull bits of wood off a brick wall or scratch the top of it - you use the bucket or clam to push it over. The wood will fall away from the brickwork/blockwork once it hits the ground anyway. Very slow work, but that's no criticism of this channel, which I think is great.
It's nice to see a operator that knows how to get er dun as they say.
Hey John, how come there are no steel-beam chomping excavators? I'm just kidding, I still marvel at your videos of the 6-story Bethesda office building, and I note (via Google streetview) that the new multi-story high rise is under construction. I appreciate your videography! Here I am, 52 years old, and I can't get enough demolition... something of the little kid in me, right?
There is a little bit of 5-year-old in all of us, which is a good thing. Some of my train videos are also popular. Anything with big machines.
I love these type of videos it’s entertaining
That looked to nice to demolish, what was the reason ?.
The new owner is replacing it with a larger house with modern features.
Wow, could afford to live a smaller place.
@@steveharris1094 A typical case of too much money and too little taste.
Unfortunately typical in DC suburbs with all the government money... Formerly middle class neighborhoods all becoming gentrified and upper class, with the influx of government contractor cash.
That's the way it was done, in 165!!
Looks like he is keeping the wood trash out of the clean cement & brick cause back in the days when I pushed a track ho like he is I done the same reason being the wood trash cost more to dump a nd there was fewer places to dump it .if the bricks were good we would save them.seeing this reminds me of my years I spent in DEMO
i could take this house apart in a month with one helmet. Not a plank, not a brick would be lost.
At 36.00 the top wall looks like a fire might have happened in the building at some time.
There appears to be a black coating on the inside of much of the exterior wall. See, for example, around 38:00 where the plaster has peeled away, exposing the masonry. I suspect that, rather than being soot left by a fire, it was some type of moisture barrier sprayed on when the building was constructed. Perhaps someone familiar with 1930s construction practices can offer an opinion.
John Z Wetmore Thank you sir and stay safe.
That's true JW... a lot of waterproofing up until the 50's on cinder block was often ashphaltum.
Total waist! My wife and I who have no home would have loved to.have had that!!
God that looks like fun. I'd do that shit for free.
I bet they replace that nice house with a Mcmansion. Yuk
Shot horizontally😀👍
That’s not reclining in the uk it’s a shame they can’t live up to uk standards
Are you a demo contractor or just a follower?
It has been decades since the last time I worked in construction. But my subscribers like demolition videos, so I am trying to make them happy.
John Z Wetmore thank you! Enjoy them
hmmmmm hard hats on but not fall arrest,
